$66M Experiment to ‘Dim the Sun’ in Effort to Combat Global Warming Approved Amid Criticism

By George Lujack

LONDON — Scientists in the United Kingdom have received approval for a controversial $66 million experiment aimed at combating global warming by “dimming” sunlight.

The project, funded by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (Aria), involves injecting aerosolized particles into the stratosphere to reflect some of the sun’s rays back into space, preventing them from reaching Earth’s surface. The experiment will see planes flying at high altitudes releasing sulfate particles into the atmosphere.

Proponents argue the geoengineering effort could be a cost-effective way to cool the planet and mitigate the effects of climate change. Mark Symes, Aria’s project manager, emphasized the urgency of the plan, warning of potential “tipping point” catastrophes if global warming is left unchecked…
